I believe the limited speed has more to do with what tires the truck is outfitted with from the factory.   All tires have a speed rating, and you cannot exceed it without risking tire failur

Yeah, NHT trucks are somewhat hard to come by. But the dealer here almost exclusively orders them. Pretty much every 6.2 that’s not a Denali comes ordered with it. I had a HC, LTZ and a few SLTs to pi

2019 LTZ 6.2 with MTP and 3.73 rear end 106 top speed limited 20" rims

How did you get 3.73 rear end???   I have 3.23. Would love 3.73s. I thought highest  rear end was 3.42s in gas and 3.73 with the new half ton diesel. 
 

I have 2019 High Country with 22s and it shuts off at 112 mph.

Had to order the Max Trailering Package. Has heavier springs and shocks and lower rear gears. Unbelievable difference with the 6.2....bit stiffer rear end ride but worth it for the launch and mid range acceleration

That’s what I thought. I looked for one with 3.42 but couldn’t find one. 
 

3.73s would be awesome to have though.

Yeah, NHT trucks are somewhat hard to come by. But the dealer here almost exclusively orders them. Pretty much every 6.2 that’s not a Denali comes ordered with it. I had a HC, LTZ and a few SLTs to pick from. The HC was the wrong color and the SLTs couldn’t get the tech package at that time so I landed with the LTZ.

 

From what I’ve seen, there’s not a big performance difference between 3.23 and 3.42 trucks. They are all within a tenth or two of each other to 60.
 

3.73 would definitely make a more noticeable difference, but only getting it with a 6 speed or a Diesel is a 👎 from me.

Is there any good reason to be going faster than that?
Some states have higher speed limits than others, and trying to make a pass in those states will require higher speed.

Also, going offroad, such as the Bonneville Salt Flats, and playing around is another good reason.

Both of those scenarios I've experienced. I hit the speed limiter on my Silverado when passing a semi on a 2 lane road. It surprised me. Fortunately, there was no oncoming traffic that I was trying to beat when I made my pass.

Obviously a recent (past 3 months) software update has reduced the speed limit on mine from 110+mph to 98mph.  Stock 18 inch rims with GY Duratrecs.

2021 Trail Boss Custom 6.2 w/20's hit 115mph on the GPS because my tires are larger than stock. Computer ends your fun at 112mph on 20's, 98mph on 18's.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality.

      Slate Electric Truck

      By KARNUT · Posted

      We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      I have a 2025 GMC Canyon Denali.   On a trip recently the engine failed.  The dealership diagnosed a bent valve and says there is a service bulletin that indicates to 'relace the engine'.  The truck only has about 14K miles and is under warranty.   The failure occurred 5/11/2026.   So far I have worked with GM Customer Assistance and Roadside Assistance.  Evidently no engines are available and nobody will offer a date when a new one will be.   Coming up on two months with no repair or timeline and no loaner from the dealership.   GMC Customer Assistance is 'ghosting' me and keeps closing the cases I've opened with no resolution.   Hoping someone can help me on how to escalate this issue.
